So Don is gone???

[marigoldmama]

Bill said "I don't have Don to back me up".

I know he quit over the polygamy but I thought he's pop up now and then.

I hope Don is not gone forever!

[biglovelove]

I hope Don is not gone too! That scene where Bill asks him to take the hit just makes me so uncomfortable and so mad at Bill!

I hope that if they are able to "out" themselves one day, Bill will make it up to Don in a BIG way.

AND - do you think Peg, Don's first wife, left Home Plus too? She was actually employed in the office, not just an in-name-only employee to get benefits.

[marigoldmama]

I'm mixing real life and fantasy. I'm thinking "gee, I hope Don and the family are OK" ;D

[BigLoveRocks!]

LOL I was wondering about Don too!

We were all a little worried that the writers would just drop the DON storyline off the face of the planet and that seems to be what they have done.

It seems out of character for Peg at least to not have reemed Bill's ass a good one.

[rhinestone_cowgirl]

Yeah it is incredibly sloppy; if they don't bring Don back after the 'outing' then it would be a real travesty on the part of the creators/writers

Don's son, Gary, makes an appearance in the season finale. I have no idea what that might mean but I hope it is not bad news about Don. But whatever, it will be some news so we might find out what the heck is going on with him and the fam.
Maybe Don is ready to do Bill in, figuratively.

I obviously don't know what the writers are thinking, but I'd assume that if this were real, Bill would have to keep his distance from Don until after the election. If he was seen with Don after Don outed himself, than people would be suspicious of Bill's relationship with him. Likewise, Bill would either have to fire Peg or Peg would have to resign because she's also in a polygamous relationship.

I think where the whole thing falls apart is the fact that Joey, who lives in JC, has become so much a part of Bill's campaign, and Lois introduced Bill. If Bill is all about cleaning up JC, and the people voting for him are anti-polygamy and anti-JC, than having those two anywhere near his campaign would be hurtful. But whatever... that's off-topic!

I feel so bad for Don! I wish that I had a friend like Don, really! Don always took care of HomePlus, listened to Bill's problems, helped Bill. Bill never asked Don about his family. LIke, "how is everyone doing?" Don had to tell Bill that two of his wives had fallen in love and left with the children. I don't remember Bill offering to help Don with that.

There cannot be that much media scrutunity on Bill's Campaign. It is like aliensummer wrote Joye and Bill have been such a big part of his campaign. I would think that would come out.

Bill seems to know how to do things under the radar. It seems to me that Don could keep his position at home plus and maybe work from home.

I think it would be very sloppy writing if Don were simply "gone". I had assumed that Don quit Home Plus "in name only"....that Bill would make sure that Don was actually still paid and/or employed for "taking the bullet".

[albertaleon]

Yes Liz3564 I would think so too! Perhaps Don is mad at Bill for asking him to do that. I think Bill is smart enough to figure out how to still pay Don.

[lism]

I really hope Don isn't gone all together but isn't it just like Bill to sacrifice a good and I'm assuming, long friendship for ambition? I wonder if Barb knows about this.

[wurks]

I think Don is still a principal in the Casino enterprise.

Hey !! ... he should end up with Ana.. and maybe Margene too... hee hee hee...

[marigoldmama]

Margene can go with Don! Love it!!!!!!!!!
